Testing to assure reliable operation of electric motors

Several field test procedures that can be used as part of a motor maintenance program to insure reliable operation of electric motors in large integrated process plants are discussed. Different types of motor electrical insulation systems are reviewed, and their failure mechanisms are described.<<ETX>>
